22. Tyler Herro, Kentucky

19 years old | Wing | 6-foot-6 | 192.4 lbs

Stats (FR): 14.0 ppg (.462/.355/.935), 4.5 rpg, 2.5 apg

Despite the fact that he only shot 35.5% from beyond the arc during his lone college season, many regard Tyler Herro as one of the best sharpshooters in the country. This is due to the fact that, on film, he showcases really strong movement away from the ball and can succeed as a shooter in multiple different ways. He can run off screens, shoot off the bounce, or simply knock down catch-and-shoot trifectas. Moreso than his 3-point percentage, many are putting stock into his ridiculous 93.5% shooting from the free throw line as an indicator of his future successes as a perimeter threat. In addition, he rebounds relatively well for a shooting guard and shows some signs as a defender. Herro is a dynamic scorer and shooter with plenty of athleticism as well. On the downside, though, he does not create for others well and owns a below-average wingspan.

21. Cameron Johnson, North Carolina

23 years old | Forward | 6-foot-8.5 | 205.2 lbs

Stats (SR): 16.9 ppg (.506/.457/.818), 5.8 rpg, 2.4 apg

Perhaps the best perimeter shooter in this draft class, Cameron Johnson is an extremely dangerous weapon from beyond the arc. Even though he is already 23-years-old, it is impossible to look past how polished Johnson is as a player and NBA prospect. 3-point shooting has grown in importance over the past few years and Johnson is absolutely elite in that facet of the game. During this past college season, he shot a ridiculous 45.7% from beyond the arc and many of those attempts came after running around screens. At nearly 6-foot-9, he brings plenty of size to the table and this makes him all the more versatile as a player. He is not, though, a great defender nor a tremendous athlete so there may be some limitations on that end of the floor. Due to his age, many have stated that Johnson may have already reached his ceiling but his shooting is an elite skill that should translate.
